Did Nexon mess up the Burning Project again??
So I was planning to use the last day to do all the level and make the lvl150 quota since, unlike many others, I proudly assume, I do not have much free time to play nowadays, but it seems the Burning Project has ended earlier, with my unopened Cryptic Chest and Title disappearing (screen said expired) from my inventory and my character leveling one level at a time... What?? The launcher clearly states the event ends on midnight of the 25th (PDT)... it's not even 9pm on the 25th here in California... whaaaaaat??? I need explanations!!

[Update 4/11] This event starts and ends at midnight PDT.
PDT... April 25, 11:59pm
The info is still in the update notes: http://maplestory.nexon.net/news//21660/#burn
He's not our CM any more, sadly.
does Nexon even think about how much damage their mistake would make on players and their game plans??
I didn't even get to open my cryptic chest for frozen sets in time because of this "consistency" issue...!!!
I still don't think the launcher said anything about event ending in UTC time, it literally said "starts and ends in PDT". Wow, Nexon.
I demand a proper explanation and solution, as always, to any of the mistakes you have made so far.
MAPLER: 'Darn Nexon! I can't open my Cryptic box because they messed up! I'm level 130 and can't use the box now!!!!!1!"
ME: "why didn't you open it when you hit 100?"
MAPLER: "Thought I'd wait until the last day to open it"
ME: ">_> These boxes only have a minimum level not a 'Don't open until Xmas sticker' you know."
MAPLER: "Well it's my choice to wait until the last minute to open them and now Nexon ruined my game Blaggglelidgiwaprhjewoihrpwahfvoipawhevfiawfwdhvasdlkvhalkdhvlwadhviladhglka RAGEQUIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
ME: "Well maybe next time you'll not wait until the last minute"
MAPLER: "N3X0N SUKKKKORZ! And I have 120 heatwave boxes that I can't use!"
ME: "Okay they explicitly state 'open during event'
MAPLER: yeah but they should let me open them after the event too...
ME: still got Christmas boxes too?
MAPLER: Umm maybe?
(now for those that hit LVL 100 -minutes- after the early reset I think Nexon should let you get into the boxes)
Not sure why anyone would wait to open the Cryptic Chest, but for many event boxes and other rewards, I try to claim them as late as possible because they expire. The later I claim them, the longer I have to figure out the best use for their contents.
Of course, knowing Nexon, I do try to claim everything a day before the earliest date any source says an event ends. For example, if attendance has Update Notes say it ends on the 18th and in-game says 19th, I claim the rewards on the 17th, UTC, if at all possible, just to be safe.
But I definitely don't claim every reward the instant it becomes available, and I don't think anyone should be told it's their fault for missing out on stuff just because they have not yet learned to be as suspicious of Nexon's timekeeping as I have
I agree that I wait until i know who I want to have each reward, I only now finished doling out my PB rewards I earned two weeks ago but I also know I need to get those onto characters I want them on days before the end of the event.
and I wasn't kidding about someone having Christmas boxes still. He got them 2 years ago and is waiting to see if he can open them this coming Christmas since he stockpiled them up and didn't think to open them before the expiration date on them.
They're not entirely wrong to hang on to them.
The Christmas boxes from two years ago were reactivated this last Christmas and some people got a head start on coin collecting before the nerf came (10 coins per day, remember?) by using old stockpiles.
huh... must have missed the window there... when I used the two I had left over on an old character they were taken away by Maple Admin. still think people shoudl be opening their equipment boxes when they can. at least that is where we can agree.
